And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying
 all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord
 In which he was a type of Christ, praying and interceding for his people before the golden attar, ( Revelation 8:3 Revelation 8:4 ) , 
 he arose from before the altar of the Lord;
 the altar of burnt offering, over against which he was: 
 from kneeling on his knees;
 upon the brasen scaffold; see ( 2 Chronicles 6:13 ) , in which posture he was during this long prayer: 
 with his hands spread up to heaven;
 which gesture he had used in his prayer, and now continued in blessing the people.
